Rangers advance - for now: The gas man saves day yet again against a regret-ridden foe

Just as Rangers' fuel levels started to dip into the reserve zone in the sweltering heat of Athens, up popped their new gas man. Djeidi Gassama had only been on the pitch three minutes when he showed brilliant technique to drill home a high angled ball into the Panathinaikos net on the hour mark. It restored parity in a match that was getting away from the Scottish side and permitted them progress into the third qualifying round of the Champions League. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Gassama, a £2.3million signing from Sheffield Wednesday earlier this month, is already repaying what many saw as already bargain buy. He netted three minutes into his debut last week, scoring the second goal in a 2-0 win over Panathinaikos in the first leg at Ibrox, and is fast showing his credentials as a super-sub. Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland celebrates the 1-1 draw in Athens against Panathinaikos. | SOOC/AFP via Getty Images The 21-year-old Frenchman will be a starter soon enough, once his fitness is up to speed. Perhaps even next week when Rangers' Champions League qualifying quest comes up against its next opponent in either Servette or Viktoria Plzen. This 1-1 draw in the Greek capital ensured a 3-1 aggregate victory over a Panathinaikos side left addled by regret. Rangers weren't very good in Greece. They passed sloppily, coughed up chances and rarely carried a goal-threat. They were indebted to some smart goalkeeping from Jack Butland but more so to some glaring inadequacies from their hosts, who not just in Athens but in Glasgow displayed profligacy in front of goal and softness at the back. Not that Rangers and their new head coach Russell Martin will grumble much. These are very early days for the boss and his players as he attempts to instil a fresh way of football in Govan. Some feared they would fall at the first hurdle but in a stadium that hosted the Olympics 21 years ago, they cleared it. Whatever technical deficiencies that were on show were cancelled out by grit, guts and determination. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad We know why Rangers are work in progress - but that won't cut it in Champions League The likelihood is though that Rangers will need to raise the bar significantly if they are to reach the promised land. Their goal led a charmed life over the two legs and better teams than Panathinaikos lie in wait. Some explanation can be found in the fledgling nature of Martin's tenure, but the cut-throat environment of the Champions League won't mitigate for that The opening exchanges in Athens were similar to eight days ago in Glasgow. Panathinaikos started brighter, were crisper in possession and attacked with more intent. They forced Rangers into mistakes and just like at Ibrox, the Greeks failed to take advantage. By the ten-minute mark, Panathinaikos had forced a flurry of corners. Rangers stood up to an aerial bombardment but then so nearly turned the gun on themselves on 13 minutes when John Souttar left a long ball which Max Aarons dithered upon, allowing Facundo Pellistri to scamper clear into the visitors' penalty box. A heavy touch allowed Jack Butland to narrow the angle and the Uruguayan's shot was straight at him. Jack Butland is unable to stop Panathinaikos taking the lead. | SOOC/AFP via Getty Images Pellistri again misfired from a central position inside the box after Panathinaikos seized on some sloppiness from Nasser Djiga. Not helped by a poor bounce of the ball admittedly, but the ex-Man Utd man really ought to have at least hit the target. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Captain and No 9 Fotis Ioannidis did at least test Butland with a smart header that was just too central to cause any damage. With the exception of a few counter attacks, Rangers spent most of the game in survival mode. The visitors could not get a handle on proceedings and benefitted from their opponents being toothless when asked to sink their teeth into opportunities. Martin would therefore be happy for his team to enter the sheds with their clean sheet in tact. This was not a strong first-half performance from his team, riddled with disorganisation and stray passes. Six minutes of drama as Gassama saves day for Rangers The start of the second half followed a familiar pattern. Rangers could not keep the ball, Panathinaikos could not do anything noteworthy with it. By the 50th minute Rangers were already entering into a phase of game-management - time-wasting is what critics would call it. The home crowd booed in disapproval. Those jeers turned to cheers, however, on 54 minutes when Panathinaikos took the lead. Finally Rangers' resistance waned. The goal wasn't pretty but Panathinaikos did not care. The ball was swung into the box from Rangers' left and Filip Djuricic ambled in unmarked. He did not connect properly with his header but it had enough direction and spin to deceive Butland and slither into the net. The offside flag was raised initially but after a painfully long VAR check, the goal was awarded. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Panathinaikos sensed blood. Souttar gave possession away cheaply on the halfway line and Djuricic stormed forward, only for his low cross to have too much juice on it and evade Ioannidis. Mohamed Diomande tries to drive Rangers forward in Greece. | SOOC/AFP via Getty Images What a moment that was, because on the hour-mark, Rangers levelled the match and restored their two-goal cushion in the tie. Nicolas Raskin drove forward, the ball came to Danilo and while his two efforts were blocked, Gassama caught the ball flush on the volley and it barrelled into the net via the far post. It was a surprising moment given that Rangers had been so inoffensive thus far, but entirely in keeping with the theme of this tie. Whenever Panathinaikos appeared like they were taking control, the Glasgow side pulled a rabbit out of the hat. The Greeks needed to respond. Ioannidis was again a couple of centimetres from connecting with a delicious delivery from out wide. The captain wailed in frustration, knowing that with 20 minutes to go, time was running out.

Rangers players ratings as Jack Butland and Nasser Djiga stand tall in Athens but new boy looks awkward
It wasn't easy for the Glasgow giants as they navigated the tricky Panathinaikos test Rangers battled to a 1-1 Champions League draw as they hit Panathinaikos with a sucker punch on their own turf. Russell Martin has got his Ibrox career off to a dream start after Jack Butland rescued the visitors on numerous occasions in Athens before Filip Duricic's header survived a VAR check to open the scoring. But Djeidi Gassama climbed off the bench to get on the scoresheet for the second week in a row against the Greeks - and deflate the home crowd. The Light Blues face Viktoria Plzen or Servette in the next round. But who impressed on the night? Record Sport takes a look. JACK BUTLAND First leg saviour produced another two huge early stops to deny Pellistri and Ioannidis. Couldn't sort feet out for goal. 8 JAMES TAVERNIER The Rangers kipper gave the fans a few nervy moments with unnecessary errors. But still played part in impressive defensive effort. 6 NASSER DJIGA Superb. Aggressive when required, dug Rothwell out a hole after sloppy first half pass and a couple of quality touches under pressure. 8 JOHN SOUTTAR Stood tall against early pressure and was focal point for building from back. Excellent positioning and solid partnership with Djiga. 8 MAX AARONS Kept spot at left back but struggled against pace of Pellistri and played Duricic on at goal. Looks awkward on left. Ended game in more accustomed right side. 6 JOE ROTHWELL Few errant passes early on but influence in possession grew as Rangers got a grip on game. Will be a big player this season. 7 NICO RASKIN Man who makes Rangers tick was tireless in midfield, snappy in tackle and another driving run led to goal just like last week. 8 MOHAMED DIOMANDE Spoke a good game pre-match and certainly tried to get on ball as much as possible but with inconsistent results. 6 FINDLAY CURTIS Goal hero last week had little opportunity to show his flair but worked socks off before making way for Gassama. 6 KIERAN DOWELL Another show of faith from Martin on right flank, put in a shift off the ball, nothing flashy going the other way. Booked for trip. 6 DANILO Brazilian emptied the tank up top, link-up not great but played part in goal with two attempts saved before Gassama's finish. 6 SUBS: DJEDEI GASSAMA Outrageous instant impact off bench again. Quick flick started move that ended with superb finish to put game to bed. 8 JEFTE CYRIEL DESSERS NEDIM BAJRAMI On for Rothwell in middle of park for last 10 as Rangers closed out win. 2

How the Rangers stars rated as Djeidi Gassama strikes again as Gers see-off Panathinaikos in Champions League qualifying
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DJEIDI GASSAMA scored again as Rangers saw-off Panathinaikos to progress in Champions League qualifying. The Light Blues weathered a major storm in Athens and fell behind to a scrappy Filip Djuricic header. 2 Russell Martin has led Rangers to the next round of Champions League qualifying Credit: EPA 2 Djeidi Gassama was the hero once again Credit: Shutterstock Editorial But Russell Martin's side quickly hit back, levelling things up seven minutes after Djuricic's effort was given after VAR review. It was one of the heroes of the first leg, Djeidi Gassama, who finished brilliantly first time to make it 1-1 just a minute after coming on as a sub. It was a huge goal for Rangers and a goal that sends them marching on to the third qualifying round of the Champions League with a 3-1 aggregate win. SunSport's David Friel rates the Gers' Euro heroes. Jack Butland 8 Huge save from Facundo Pellistri and was crucial during the early onslaught. Will be disappointed to concede a weak header but Gers' top man over two legs. James Tavernier 6 Caught on the ball too often in a difficult night for the Gers skipper, but dug deep as the Ibrox men managed to get the result they needed. Nasser Djiga 7 Got himself into trouble with his passing out from the back at times but covered the ground really well and was strong in one v one situations. John Souttar 7 At the centre of an early penalty claim for handball but it would have been harsh. Display wasn't faultless but he stood strong when Rangers needed him. Max Aarons 6 Lucky escape after a mix-up with Souttar from a simple long ball. Didn't look overly comfortable on the left but made himself available and put in a shift. Joe Rothwell 7 Quiet start but tried his best to get on the ball and calm Rangers down by playing simple passes. Never flustered in possession and got stuck in. Major Mikey Moore Rangers loan doubts & 'strange situation' at Celtic + transfer news Go Ballistic Mohamed Diomande 7 Couldn't really make an impact on the ball but energy and workrate was crucial as he ran himself into the ground in the stifling Athens heat. Nico Raskin 7 Burst forward on a first-half break but couldn't get a shot away. Busy in the midfield and always looked to make things happen as he took responsibility. Kieran Dowell 5 Booked for a cynical foul just before the break and didn't offer much more in the first half. Fell asleep at back post as Filip Duricic headed in the opener. Findlay Curtis 5 Half chance inside the box and also had a couple of breaks but the Gers kid found it tough as the Greeks pressed. Subbed after the opener. Danilo 6 Fed off scraps as the lone striker but hold-up play needs to be a lot better when Rangers are under pressure. Kept going and heavily involved at the equaliser. SUBSTITUTES DJEIDI GASSAMA 7: On at 1-0 and levelled instantly with a brilliant finish to kill the Greek momentum. JEFTE 5: Brazilian left-back replaced the tiring Dowell. CYRIEL DESSERS 3: last ten to give Danilo a rest and missed golden chance. NEDIM BAJRAMI 3 on at the same time for Rothwell.
